Dolphin Adoption - Tipex (female)

Dolphins lives are at risk from human impact. You can help support our conservation projects and make a real difference to a dolphins life by a adopting a dolphin today. 

The first recorded sighting of Tipex was in 2002 as a juvenile and she is often seen around the Cut and in the Estuary particularly through the winter months due to the abundance of fish. She is a fantastic mother and grandmother and is often seen on the Eco Tours, also interacting with guests on the Swim Tours. Her dorsal fin went through some major transformations due to injuries she sustained with the last one being from a watercraft strike in January 2025, luckily the wound healed very well.
